PAIN IS NOT a pre-requisite to giving birth
to your baby! Surprised? Yes, HypnoBirthing research shows that pain is not present say those
who have used HypnoBirthing techniques.
"...I do have to say though, that both <husband> and the midwife thought I
was a bit TOO relaxed several times and that I needed to "feel" more so I could
make proper use of the surges when they came- I was so focused on relaxation and
transmuting whatever might have been perceived as pain..."
"It was so quiet in our room compared to all the rooms around us- we
could hear screaming and banging around and people shouting- and that was the
norm on the L and D floor!" More quotes about
HypnoBirthing from HypnoBirthing moms

* We do not advocate home birth only. We support
any choice of birth you make: Birthing center, water birth, home birth and even
a hospital helped birth. The only thing we do not advocate and do not support is
drugged birth, scheduled cesareans and unnecessarily manipulated birthing. We do
not support deliberate ignorance and carelessness. We teach you to be
comfortable at your birth and be safe, as well as be able to feel the way to
WANT to feel, happy, elated, joyful, bonded with your baby and loved ones,
orgasmic, loving, light, smiling, or laughing, rather than scared and pained. We
help you relieve the fears and concerns before birthing, so you can go into the
birthing happy and light and enjoy your time.
When you
give birth at home, your feel safer, unrushed, comfortable and supported by your
family, than in a hospital facility, where you are pushed to finish up, and
agree to measures you don't like, or have no decision privilege. Fact: in 1900s
90% of all births happened at home; in 1955 only 1% of births took place at
home. Business of Birthing, a Documentary by Ricky Lake, sites: Hospitals
are businesses, beds need to be filled and then emptied, and many women do not
have the time to enjoy the birthing process naturally, as it should go on. They
are induced, they are sped up, they are made to comply the orders of the
hospital, doctors, and the whole business of birthing. Use of Caesarian section
is peaking. In the 1970s - only 40%, last decade -70%, since 1996 the case of
using caesarian section for birthing had risen to 96%, in 2005 on in every three
women had caesarian!
US has the second worst birth rate in the world.
Very high maternal mortality in hospitals.
In Europe and Japan 70% of births are at home and
attended by midwives. In the US only 8% are home births.
Vaginally and
naturally born babies develop better, learn better, and are more confident and
successful faster in life.
Studies show that
babies gently stroked and caressed by mothers at least five minutes every hour
for four weeks after birth grow to be more confident and happy.
The vast majority of contemporary young women don't know anything
about giving birth to their child. They know very little about pregnancy,
breastfeeding and breech or c-section birthing before
the doctors begin to tell them what they should do and what they should not do,
then it is too late.
With HypnoBirthing the
rate of your baby to be born healthy is higher than in the hospital.
With HypnoBirthing the
rate of your baby grow up healthy is higher than hospital birth.
With HypnoBirthing
awareness the rate of your body to be prepared for birthing is higher.
With HypnoBirthing any
special circumstances are ok!
With HypnoBirthing you
are present to your baby when he/she is coming to you, you are able to watch the
baby finding your breast (Breastfeeding Healthy) and be happy when you begin to
bond.
You are present at
your baby's birth, not absent by drugs and epidurals.
You enjoy your baby's
birth.
You are having a good
time giving birth.
STOP!
Stop holding out on your baby,
you baby needs you! Educate yourself. Take your HypnoBirthing class with us and
you will learn.
Start your
preparation for natural comfortable vaginal birthing and greet your baby with a smile with the Marie
Mongan Method of Hypnobirthingt!
Come to us to learn, prepare yourself, get
comfortable with yourself and your time in being pregnant, use this time
creatively to prepare for comfortable birthing:
We will teach you, educate you, help you acquire
the necessary skills before giving birth and even before making your decision
where to give birth, at home or not, so you can be the decision maker, not your
doctor!
Women are largely afraid of birthing. Because of
our societal pre-conceived notions and expectations, shared stories since our
girlhood, we, women EXPECT PAIN in child birth!!! We expect having a traumatic
experience at birth of our child!
And therefore, we are angry, dissatisfied,
frustrated, unfulfilled and un-understood in our pregnant wishes, needs and
wants!
NOW, the contemporary woman comes out
transformed. The woman is assertive in her needs and wants, for herself and her
baby. Natural birth with the Marie Mongan method is leading to the highest dose
of oxytocin*, endorphins**, numbing the pains and elevating the
feeling of love "high" you ever experience.
DO NOT delay, start your
preparation for natural comfortable birthing with a smile with the Marie
Mongan Method of Hypnobirthingtm
now!
Oxytocin
(IPA:
/ˌɔk.sɪ.ˈtoʊ.sɪn/) (Greek, "quick birth") is a
mammalianhormone
that also acts as a
neurotransmitter in the
brain. In
women, it is released in large amounts after distension of the
cervix and
vagina
during labor, and after stimulation of the
nipples,
facilitating
birth
and
breastfeeding, respectively. It is occasionally misspelled as oxytoxin.
Synthetic oxytocin is sold as medication under the trade names Pitocin
and Syntocinon as well as generic oxytocin.
In humans,
oxytocin is thought to be released during hugging, touching, and
orgasm in
both sexes. In the brain, oxytocin is involved in social recognition and
bonding, and may be involved in the formation of trust between people and
generosity.
**
Endorphin
Endorphins
are
endogenous
opioid
polypeptide compounds. They are produced by the
pituitary gland and the
hypothalamus in
vertebrates during strenuous exercise, excitement, and orgasm; and they
resemble the
opiates in their abilities to produce
analgesia and a sense of well-being. Endorphins work as "natural pain
killers", whose effects may be enhanced by other medications.
The term
"endorphin" implies a
pharmacological activity (analogous to the activity of the
corticosteroid category of biochemicals) as opposed to a specific
chemical formulation. It consists of two parts: endo- and -orphin;
these are short forms of the words endogenous and morphine,
intended to mean "a morphine-like substance originating from within the
body."
Participation of
mother in her child being born is very important.
Who wants to give birth to a baby not knowing
what is going on, asleep, unprepared?
Who wants to give birth unknowingly losing the
innate connection with the child? In advance developing the post partum
depression? Unable to control her feelings? Unaware of her baby's first needs?
Who wants to bring the baby into life unaware of
how the baby chose you, or what the baby wants from your presence?
Instead, CHOOSE to be aware, happy and prepare to
greet your baby's arrival with a smile and support of your family, FULLY
CONSCIOUS and strong to hold the baby in your first AWE in seeing this little
life to the big world! With
Hypnobirthingtm
you can do anything and still be aware and give birth happily with a smile.
HypnoBirthing means Hypnosis
for Birthing - a philocophy and a technique use dduring birthing by women and
their companions to create a comfpratable and safe environment for birthing your
baby.
HypnoBirthing means feeling everything, except
pain, remember all sequences of events, unfolding during birthing, not missing
out on anything, communicating actively and constructively during this
transformative period, humanizing birth experience for yourself, your partner
and your baby.
Research on natural and home births is
consistently better, safer, supported by the environment, with a higher rate of
birthing a healthy baby, alert and strong survival skills innate for each
naturally born child.

"A few years ago I
made a transition to HypnoBirthing, and I now truly believe that normal birthing
does not have to involve pain." Dr. Lorne R. Campbell, Sr., Clinical Assistant
Professor of Family Medicine, University of Rochester, and SUNY Buffalo School
of Medicine. In the foreword to the book by Marie Mongan, HypnoBirthing, The Mongan
Method.
" I heartily recommend
this ... well thought-out program ..., for its contribution toward making the
birth of children a positive and gentle step on their way to a better world."
Dr. Lorne R. Campbell.
Three minutes
after going through the labor and delivery doors, I had Greer.
I went in for a 41st week
appointment and had an ultrasound. My amniotic fluid was very low and the
placenta looked old and had lots of calcification. They wanted to induce
immediately, but I didn’t want to, so they checked me and I was almost fully
effaced and 3 cm. We decided to strip my membranes to try to bring on labor
(which made me 4cm) and have an IV to try to increase fluids to buy me another
day or two. The fluids didn’t do much so I went home that night scheduled to
come back the next morning to check the fluid again and get a second opinion
about whether induction was necessary. The next morning, I started having back
labor at about 6:15am. I spent a lot of time in the shower and in the "polar bear"
position. We decided to head to the hospital at 8:15am as my surges had started
coming about a minute apart from about 5 minutes apart at 6:15am. Steve ran in
to get a wheel chair and rushed me to labor and delivery. The nurse who had
given me the IV the day before was on her way back from getting coffee and saw
us coming. She rushed us through the doors at 9am and by the time I took off my
skirt, I had a strong urge to push. Three minutes after going through the labor
and delivery doors, I had Greer.
This is baby Victoria Charles at 8
months photographed at a seminar in Lambertville, NJ, June 2007
Born naturally with a smile
on mom's face. This
baby is more developed and looks more mature than babies her age. She had never
had any vaccinations and never was sick, or with any discomfort, (except her
teeth are beginning to come). Her parents let
her explore her environment in a natural way, Victoria crawls into the most
unheard of places and tastes and touches things, even off the floor, without her parents going
"Don't touch! Don't eat this!" she immediately drops from her mouth
food that is not clean or good, without swallowing, something that is not
good or edible, and her explorations are resulting in her being environment
conscious and aware of her body boundaries, keeping herself safe.
She can sit on the table with her parents and other kids in the family eating
dinner, somehow being aware of the edge of the table under her little touchy,
balancing herself in a way to stay stable and vertical. Of course, father and
mother are near and watching! Of course they are available and their arms are around to
protect her! Victoria is well fed by her mother's breasts and longs to have a
taste of each meal the adults have and at her age she is aware of what other
foods taste like and has her preferences and dislikes. For example, she dislikes
oranges, and likes apples, she likes some meats and cheeses, and some breads,
pasta and meat sauce, and some Chinese and Indian cuisine. She also does not mind new people
in her environment and greets them in a friendly way. She rarely cries and most
of her time she spends in quiet research of her surroundings. She can stand
being "wet" for hours, she is free from all vaccinations and is happy without any medications.
Do you want your baby to be
healthy and happy?

The method teaches the absence of:

tension
pain
Instead it teaches to recapture the
relaxation
calmness

natural environment in your mind and
teaching your body to reawaken to its
natural knowledge
